Unitech Training Academy Approved to Launch Fully Online AI-Integrated IT Program
Unitech Training Academy has received approval from the Louisiana Board of Regents to offer its newly revised AI-Integrated Information Technology program, expanding opportunities for students to gain in-demand technical skills while learning to responsibly apply artificial intelligence in support roles.
The 550-hour program, AI-Integrated Technical Support Specialist, is now open for enrollment and is delivered entirely online and designed to prepare students for entry-level IT positions and the CompTIA Tech+ certification. Over six months, students engage in interactive online labs, real-world troubleshooting simulations, and a capstone project that begins in the first week and culminates in a polished portfolio showcasing job-ready expertise.
The updated curriculum blends traditional IT foundations—hardware, software, networking, and security—with AI-driven workflows that accelerate diagnostics, automate repetitive tasks, and strengthen decision-making. Students also receive training in Microsoft 365 administration, cybersecurity, customer service, digital communication, and professional readiness, ensuring a well-rounded education in both technical and workplace skills.
“This approval represents a milestone for Unitech Online and the future of IT education,” said Jacob Landry, President of Unitech Online. “By integrating AI into every stage of the curriculum, we’re not only teaching students how to support technology but also how to use technology more intelligently and ethically to serve people. And by offering this program fully online, we’re making those skills accessible to students wherever they are.”
Noah Brandon, President of Unitech Training Academy, added: “When we began revising this program, we asked leaders in IT to contribute and tell us what the future of the field looks like. We listened carefully, and their feedback is now built into this curriculum. Unitech is committed to developing people and preparing graduates for roles that demand adaptability, problem-solving, and the confidence to apply AI responsibly in real-world environments.”
The Lafayette Regional Technology Council was one group that helped contribute to this program revamp. Formed earlier this year, the LRTC wants to strengthen and grow Lafayette’s technology ecosystem by supporting collaboration and growth within the local tech community through programming focused on talent development, connections & knowledge sharing, business growth, and advocacy.
“The Lafayette Regional Technology Council was proud to advise Unitech on how to best integrate AI training into its IT curriculum. Helping local educators stay ahead of emerging technologies ensures our regional talent remains competitive, while also strengthening the overall tech community we’re building here in Acadiana,” said Ben Johnson, LRTC Chairman.
The fully online AI-Integrated IT program will be offered through Unitech Online, making it accessible to students across Louisiana. The program is expected to start on Sept. 30.
